Lyrics
When my heart shuts down
Expression of emotional shutdown or detachment
I don't speak
Silence as a response
'Cause behind the muffled beating
Heart's hidden vulnerability beneath the surface
I am weak
Admission of personal weakness
The earth is ripped with cracks
Symbolic description of a fractured world
Beneath my feet
Sense of instability or insecurity
One word more they become crater's
Repetition emphasizing the impact of words, turning into emotional craters
One word more they become crater's
-Oh the wind in my hair
Wind as a metaphor for freedom
It sings my song
Identification with a personal song carried by the wind
To be a wanderer and to go home
Desire to be a wanderer and find a sense of belonging ("home")
Oh the wind in my hair
Reiteration of the longing to be a wanderer and find home
It sings my song
-To be a wanderer
-To be a wanderer and to go home
-For a million years
Reference to a long period marked by sorrow
Tears were shed
Recognition of past pain and suffering
Memories were layered softly bed by bed
Accumulation of memories over time
Once the last damn broke
Turning point marked by a release of emotions
The river's bled
Imagery of rivers bleeding, signifying profound change
Making way to new beginnings
Clearing the way for new beginnings
Making way to new beginnings
-Oh the wind in my hair
Continuation of the theme of being a wanderer and seeking home
It sings my song (sings my song, sings my song)
-To be a wanderer and to go home
-Oh the wind in my hair
-It sings my song (sings my song, sings my song)
-To be a wanderer
-To be a wanderer and to go home
-Oh the wind in my hair
Reiteration of the wind singing the song of wandering and home
It sings my song (sings my song, sings my song)
-To be a wanderer and to go home
-Oh the wind in my hair
-It sings my song (sings my song, sings my song)
-To be a wanderer
-To be a wanderer and to go home
-To be a wanderer
Emphasis on the desire to be a wanderer
(Sings my song, sings my song)
Repetition of the wind singing the personal song
To be a wanderer
Final expression of the longing to be a wanderer and find home
To be a wanderer and to go home
